Improved Colour Adjustment for Skin Nodes

It occurred to me that using a Hue/Saturation node rather than a color mix would give more control, as well as more realistic colour for skin texture.

So I tried it and am, so far, very happy with the results. Here are some examples:

1) Default skin tone

2) Tanned
hue_adjust_tan.png

3) Sunburnt

4) Hulk Look

The inputs on the Group node correspond to those on the Hue/Saturation node with the exception of hue, which is split into Coarse, Medium and Fine adjustments:

If anyone would like to try this, I've attached a .blend file with nodes set up for body, lips, ears and nipples.
